New Babies
This is just a short interruption in our wartime broadcast to update Australia on the current population situation, as well as the Sol situation.
Since the beginning of Prime Minister Cerb's term, 816 new citizens have joined eAustralia (not including immigrants from other countries or visiting soldiers). Of these 816, 427 of them surpassed level 3 and have continued playing. We are working to increase on this number, and Baby Booming Minister Dartreal has several plans in place to achieve this! Great work, MoBB team!
Also, in the near future, there will be a Baby Boom Competition with HUGE prizes. Details to come in the near future!

Sol Update
There have been lots of rumors going around that Australia has moved to Observer status in the Sol Alliance. These rumors are true. It came to our attention that Sol was proposing that member nations pay 5% of GDP in fees for funding. Since Australia is running a tight budget, it was decided that EDEN is a higher priority for Australia.

"Sol Update
There have been lots of rumors going around that Australia has moved to Observer status in the Sol Alliance. These rumors are true. It came to our attention that Sol was proposing that member nations pay 5% of GDP in fees for funding. Since Australia is running a tight budget, it was decided that EDEN is a higher priority for Australia."
None of this is true. Well, I believe you that Australia is on a tight budget, and you may have decided that EDEN is a higher priority, but no one ever moved you to observer status, and there is no resolution going around asking any percentage of GDP.
If you want to move to observer status, you absolutely can, just your CP or Sol representative needs to propose it on the Sol Forums.
And Sol still is free to belong to.
We're trying to figure out a funding scheme for SolDiers, and do plan on asking nations to pay into that, but we have neither figured out percentages or absolute numbers, or anything even ballpark.
I keep seeing all these reasons for Australia leaving Sol, but I've never seen the brought up on the Sol forums, Australia have not participated once in the funding discussion, which is still ongoing, , till you already decided to leave and 5% was barely mentioned. And after Australia accused Sol of not helping it, it then turned out that the nations they accused of not helping did help as much as they can, and Australia were being unrealistic about the amount of damage they expected, plus they never told anyone about the attack, I mean like I've said before if you have a party don't be gutted if people don't show up when you don't invite them, even a quick message on the Sol forums would have been fine. Finally they raised the issue of Sol war games which are not controlled by Sol. They are really the south east asian wargames and are run by malaysia and philippines. Its funny because the US press office wrote, before it was corrected that the US didn't send full help because Oz were in Sol not Eden.
And finally guys, if you have the balls to attack indonesia directly, why not have the balls to say you left Sol because you felt like it?
At least we have balls to stand up to Indonesia, UNLIKE Sol, who cowards away because half the countries in Sol are PENIX puppets.
Why did you refuse to condemn or publicly provide support to South Africa or Australia? Because of fear of upsetting Indonesia maybe?
Soltrolls are butthurt their alliance is small and shitty.
Corey, those attacks on Argentina and Brazil by you in South Africa were all a publicity stunt. There was exactly 0% chance for you to gain any ground there because of being double-teamed by Argentina and Brazil. It was just impossible. And why would we fear upsetting Indonesia? They are our enemy currently, period. And which half of Sol are PENIX puppets?
And I didn't know that having balls = making bald but absolutely stupid moves. Why would we need to attack Indonesia? What could we ever gain out of it?
Aus Askar, at least countries in Sol have brains and use them. I miss the old Australia from Sol a lot, but I don't miss the current suicidal Australia that just activated MPPs upon itself to grab the attention of EDEN. This "hey, look, you have to save us now and can't ignore us any more" reasoning for the attack is just so childish.
Despite the fact that Sol did almost as much damage as EDEN in SA...yeah EDEN are your real friends.
>"At least we have balls to stand up to Indonesia, UNLIKE Sol, who cowards away because half the countries in Sol are PENIX puppets."
which half? I am eager for enlightenment.
GO EDEN!
